Zeilhard

Zeilhard is a municipal district of Reinheim in the Darmstadt-Dieburg region, covering land with farmfields, meadows, and residential buildings. Located at roughly 186 meters elevation, the area spans several square kilometers with structures typical of a rural settlement.

The first written mention of this municipal district goes back to the early Middle Ages, with the name's spelling changing over centuries. This long presence shows the area has been inhabited since medieval times.

The community has long supported Prellball, a traditional German sport that shapes local identity and brings residents together. The sports club remains central to how people spend time here.

The district connects to the road network via Federal Highway B38 on its northern edge and several regional roads including K129 and K130. A train connection to Georgenhausen station provides another option for reaching the area.

A protected natural monument nearby preserves a loess wall along the walking path to Georgenhausen station, home to rare plant communities. This loess wall reveals soil deposits that wind carried here over thousands of years.
